Or some shit like that. Gimme your guesses, and the winner gets a dream date, with kneepads, with Paul Williams. And a baby’s arm holding an apple. 2nd place is a weekend at Dennis’s. 3rd place is a week there.
I know there aren’t too many different options here, but hey, this looks like a great set of games for once. And, I tell ya one thing, it sure is a hell of a lot more fun having the Niners actually involved in the playoffs than watching them for strictly betting purposes. With a bye no less . . .
If you want to read my detailed breakdown of how I think the playoffs go (sure you do), just click the previous thread. I’ve gotten 3 predictions so far. Here’s the schedule of games:
Saturday, Jan. 7th
6.Bengals (9-7) vs. 3.Texans (10-6), 1:30 pm NBC
6.Lions (10-6) vs. 3.Saints (13-3), 5:00 pm NBC
Sunday, Jan. 8th
5.Falcons (10-6) vs. 4.Giants (9-7), 10:00 am FOX
5.Steelers (12-4) vs. 4.Broncos (8-8), 1:30 pm CBS
All times are Pacific Standard times. I have no idea when these games start in the Philippines.
I’m not too worried about Fangio leaving. He’s prety much a dyed-in-the-wool DC.
That’s the hope, anyway. Roman? Like I said earlier, Harbaugh can pick and choose from a bunch of guys who would love to be his DC.
Well good. See ya Roman.
Lord Vic we got a brand new contract for ya
So far I have:
Phil: Hou, NO, Atl, Pitts
TF: Hou, Det, Atl, Pitts
AK: Cincy, NO, NY, Pitts
Nip: Hou, NO, NY, Pitts
UC: Cincy, NO, Atl, Pitts
Flav: Cincy, NO, NY, Pitts
DTD: ?, NO, ?, Denver
Anyone else that I missed? Rob? Snarkk, Berger? Not much love for Denver . . .
Dennis, I need your last 2 predictions . . .
Chuck, you just assumed that I, I mean Frank, would pick the Broncos.
Frank doesn’t like the horses. He keeps reminding me that my gambling on said horses cuts into his Fancy Feast consumption. If I have to eat bologna, then Frank can eat generic.
That’s a lie. I’d never buy him that crap. Frank eats better than I do.
I can vouch for Berger, I talked to him this morning…he has the same four selections this weekend as I do. I mean as Frank does…
All three of us are doomed.
Yeah prolly but I’m guessing the last supper will be superb…
Right now we got a horse race between Nipper and Phil who called the first 2 wins correctly. Manana we’re gonna see the moment of truth. Atlanta or NY?
Whose gonna be da Prince of da Prognosticators?
And now the moment you’ve all been waiting for…No. I’m not announcing my retirement from Chuck’s blog. You should be so lucky. Without further ado, here’s Frank’s Fearless Feline Forecast:
Bengals. The Bengal Tiger and Siamese are like 3rd cousins. That’s an easy one.
Saints. You’d think Frank would go with another relative, the Lion. Wrong! King of the jungle?
Frank takes that as a personal affront. Frank’s King.
Giants. Although Frank likes birds, he likes little birds. Not those big 747 Falcons that’d swoop on down, swipe him up and have him for lunch. No Falcons!
Steelers. Although this may come as a bit of a surprise, there’s some rhyme and reason behind it. As most of you know, the cat was revered in Egypt. It was worshiped as a god. The Egyptians had many gods. Tim Tebow has only one God. Frank believes there’s strength in numbers.
“The needs of the many gods outweigh the needs of the few or one God.” —Frank Spock
Retire from Chuck’s blog? Shit Dennis I heard a rumor Chuck is considering you for the Comeback Blogger of the Year award.
Bengals? BENGALS? Frank now 0-1, joins elite company of Berger, DMD, LOL Cohn
Hey, I know we all have our Wild Card picks in, but how bout our SB picks?
I’ll, I mean Frank, will give it a shot…
AFC
CIN > HOU and PIT > DEN
NE > CIN and BAL > PIT
NE > BAL
NFC
NO > DET and NY > ATL
NY > GB and NO > SF
NO > NY
SB
NO > NE
“So it shall be written, so it shall be done.” —Yul Brynner as Rameses.
I’m just full of Egyptian catshit today…
If Frank was responsible for your 4-12 Niner calls, you might consider this for part of your Super Bowl buffet..

You cease to amaze me. Last week it was the glorification a poor pizza deliveryman who got killed on his bicycle while witnessed by a nun and her Catholic school children. Today you’re promoting “braised cat.” Not any cat, but my Frank the cat.
You, and I’d imagine most everyone else on this, and every other blog knows how much Frank means to me. I think my latest attempt at picking this weekend’s winners as if it were Frank speaking would have conveyed that thought. Of course my intent was to *try* and inject some humor with my picks. But nonetheless, the mere fact that I gave Frank the floor should flip you the switch.
I only make threats. You, TF, carry them out. You killed another joke.
Is Frank a thirsty cat?
I change his water bowl thrice a day. You think stale beer is bad? You should listen to Frank bitch and moan about dirty water.
Go get me some goddamn ice. And Frank some Jonny Cat litter.
Spare me the phony outrage -you bring Mommy in to help you stab Alex, and you are freaked by a cat recipe. Cat’s tasty, BTW..
Precisely Del. You see Lazarus’ job is to kill things DEAD around here so we normal miracle workers can step in with just the right amount of humor and class and- SHAZAMM -bring the dead back to life. Happens several times a day right here. You seen the numbers of posts when the Sons aren’t around? Talk about dead.
BTW Del Mar do you fail to understand? Jokes are bad. Insults are good. Got it?
Okay fine
Gee, Mike. Pushing the envelope of taste, aren’t we?
Sorry. Didn’t like the link, or the previous pic of the unfortunate kid who was hit by a car.
Stomp your feet Chuck ……
Well Nip if he doesn’t this shit gonna continue until we all leave…
There was never a picture of a dead kid.
So? It’s a kid’s bike that was smashed by a car with crime scene tape aropund the entire intersection. They wouldn’t do that for a hurt kid. But they would for a dead one.
Please cease and desist from posting vile pictures or recipes.
Dipshit was pretendind the cat was making the calls, and I imagined what might be done with a cat who lost all your money. You’re both absolutuely FOS, there was nothing out of line…
Better avoid Animal Planet, Emergency ER ,and the 6:00 news..
That wasn/t a vile recipe, it looked pretty good really..
The other was Tony Romo fucking up a pizza delivery.
Chuck you let my nomination of Dennis for The Comeback Blogger of the Year Award go through, he and the rest of us miracle workers will clean up the messes sad old angry Lazarus keeps making here is his, ah…YOUR….playpen. Just a thought…
It’s a lot easier when we don’t have to keep raising the fucking dead around here Chuck.
Signed, Phil, one of the Sons
Eddie D finally made it the Football HOF finalist list of 15. Roger Craig, again, did not make it. Aeneas Williams and Dick Stanfel made it. Hmmm. Eddie D or Aeneas Williams or Dick Stanfel? Hard to figure who among ’em had the biggest impact on the NFL…
Wow. There’s a game-changer. i was going to say how nice TJ Yates was looking in getting the score tied. Now a gift TD by Texas’ defense. 10 points in 14 seconds . . .
Shit. GREAT play by J.J. Watt for that INT TD return.
That’s what I, I mean Frank gets for trusting a ginger. Are there any grey QBs like Frank? I think Warren Moon won five Grey Cups as an Eskimo up in Canada, eh?
But if Warren Moon had to be registered with The Jockey Club, he wouldn’t be labelled a grey horse. 😀
That play by Watt reminded me of our Justin Smith. That’s the highest compliment I can give. Just fantastic. Justin Smith, in Frank’s mind, is the NFL Defensive Player of the Year. Frank knows J. Allen will get much consideration, but J. Smith did what he did on a 13-3 team. Allen, for all his talents, his team finished just the opposite at 3-13.
Justin Smith for DPOY.
Smith isn’t going to win it, I don’t think, because he finished the year quietly. I know he’s been slowed by injuries but he didn’t do shit the last couple of weeks
Shit. The ginger and his offense seem just a bit rattled. Need to gain composure…now!
TF, I’m asking you sincerely and politely…please don’t bring up my dead Mother again.
Thank you.
You brought her up. To further another Death Threat “joke”. Fuck you.
But as long as you don’t use her a plot device in one of your hilarious Death Threats, I’ll honor your request.
Lazarus has an endless supply of negativity he never takes responsibility for. He just dumps it here and us miracle workers gotta bring the dead back to life.
Chuck help the Sons! You are our only hope! Help us Oh Grand Master!
Gets fucking old huh Denny? Chuck will never catch Flavor with all the energy we gotta spend mopping up endless shit from the Laz.
I asked Denny about his mom so actually I brought her up…
Chuck, change my NO pick to Detroit. I agree with twin about Stafford. And they both play on artificial turf so Detroit might be able to hang. I’m not betting on any of these playoff games but if I was I would hit Detroit +10.5 hard. Maybe even the $ line…
Then he used her to help kill Alex- now I know she couldn’t really do that, just I know I can’t insult a talking bookie cat… but Denny dearest- you kinda lose Mom as an “untouchable” when you have her stabbing our QB from the grave..
Flav, you might have brought up my Mom in the first place, but TF loves to beat her memory like a dead horse. Dead Mom? Dead horse? Dead cat? I’m sure TF has a link and photo for that recipe…
Add one Emily, one Lost in the Fog and one Frank the Cat. Preheat oven to 350, cover and baste every 15 mins. Using an approved FDA meat thermometer, check often. When the internal temp. reaches 150 degrees, take out the thermMOMeter and shove it straight up TF’s ass. Add pan gravy and enjoy…
I think you respectfully asked that he not bring her up anymore and I believe that he will honor that request. Of course, that’s just a guess.
I think that over the years we have all drawn our lines about topics that are off limits. For the most part, those lines aren’t crossed once defined….
As I said, the luster of Mommie’s memory loses some of it’s sheen when she has a knife in her hand..
You’re a hoot- you have Mommie Dearest leaving the grave to assist one in another of your Smith sicko threats ,but *I’m” beating her memory like a horse”. I actually chided you for disgracing your Mom. I have more respect than you do..
There you go again, taking everything so literal. You take that literalness and kill the joke. But not only this time did you once again squash the joke, you had to bring Mom into it.
I love a good joke as much as the next guy. Leave well enough alone…
Nice recipe.
Naw Lazarus will never shut up until Obi Wan the Chuckster gets off his ass and puts a cork in it. Limits would be good. I would never follow a Lazarus link for example. Or if I was the blogmeister and found it offensive I would perform my own little miracle and make that piece of shit disappear.
BUTT NO! Shit stays up making us all sick, angry and depressed. And Flavor’s posting lead remains secure. (No offense to Flavor, chuck will never catch ya at this rate). Chuck, Grant did a good job @ Inside da 9ers hacking off a few weird posts- he can show you. Please?
Drive the Sons away and it will be you and spitblood/Lazarus all alone….again.
Just to clarify: unless some things change, I’m done here. Anyone who wants to keep in touch, do it at Skeebersville or email me at grumpyninerfan at yahoo dot com. Life is too short to subject one’s self to endless horseshit. Sorry, Chuck.
Amen. Now. Can you, I and the “Tebow Tabernacle,” fulfill our mission?
Phil, little do they know that our and Tim Tebow’s mission is quite simple…
Shake the hand of the man or woman next to you and wish them the best.
That’s another Son down Chuck. Grumpy I’ll be in touch @ yer email for laughs. Sorry can’t make it to skeebs place, he’s not trustworthy.
Let’s see, Sons list of recently gone bloggers:
Rob- gone
Berger- gone
grumpyguy- gone
NJ49er- gone
Free advice: “Moderators should moderate neither taking one side or another too emphatically. Keep it safe by immediately removing offensive shit and chronic abusive attacks on members”
People like what is easy and fun. They do not like what is hard and unpleasant and those that make it so. Or as Denny AKA Frank might say “Shovel the shit outta the stables then you can run yer horses”.
Easiest thing in the world = having fun and being happy, spreading it around. Tebow agrees I checked…
Very surprised by how good Yates has been and how bad Dalton’s been. Chalk those 2 performances up to home/road effects
Detroit could surprise people with their defensive effort. The only real thing they’ve got going against them is there dumb shit coach
Their not there–big violation of my own pet peeve and I can’t edit the comment. Slow burn…
Cincy is getting pushed all over the field.
Harbaugh Reality Check: it pisses me off that Doug Baldwin and Ryan Whalen are playing in the NFL right now while we toil away with the worst receiving core in the league. Also, what’s our 6th round pick doing these days? Working at Sports Authority?
Woo hoo!
0-1 so far . . .
I think not being a great team must really be a negative when you play on the road in the playoffs. Green bay rolled through the road games last year but they gave proven to be a great team.
Despite that somewhat mundane epiphany, I’m still going with Detroit…
Foster has the worst hair cut ive ever seen
So are you taking the Lions +435 on the ML? If you did, you’re a better betting man than I am. The O/U has now reached 60. My initial instinct said it should be 76 trombones, Robert Preston. My instincts SUCK.
Saints 31 Lions 24. That’s a total of 55. That was Mom’s favorite number.
In not betting the game since I dont bet online anymore and my Reno buddy is out of town. All those college games though were on parlays that all cashed with 5 more set to fall on Monday night…
To keep the math simple for y’all: with $100 I’d bet $20 on the ML and $80 on the lions +10.5.
I hear ya. But I don’t like your distribution. If you really believe in the Lions, Frank and I would go 60% ML and 40% +10 1/2. But that’s just the raving lunacy of a cat and his master. Check that. A man and his cat master.
Good luck.
That’ s the prob with the Falcons. They can look so bad at times on the road. But so can NO. As evidenced by their baffling loss to the Rams. Which gives everyone hope.
I do have to say, I thought Deetroit was going to fold up like a cheap suit when things started going bad. But they did turn it around and get into the playoffs. Their schedule didn’t hurt though.
Still think NO wins.
side note: Faith Hill looked 10x better as a brunette.
If she would go ginger, she’d go through the roof…
I wanted Joan Jett…………..
